I'm really curious why most TPIs and even aftermarket TPIs seem to almost always have dual throttle bodies vs. single throttle bodies.


If you had a dual throttle body and then swapped to a single throttle body with the same CFM Flow #'s what would be the difference??!?

Depends on the car. From absolutely nothing all the way up to negligible.

 

Hahaha awesome response.

Good to know that I shouldn't sweat it much either way.

But what do you expect that difference would be?!? (Qualitatively.)

The high end of negligible is by definition not worth considering. So I won’t.

 

Yet you took the time to make this comment with a value ranging from absolutely nothing to negligible. #Ironic

 

Still looking for a different answer? If you want exact numbers throw a dart at a dartboard, whatever you get divide it by two. That's your EXACT hp number you can expect at the high end. For the low end, repeat the scientific dart experiment. This time instead of dividing by 2, simply subtract the number you get from itself. This is the low range.
And just to make sure all bases are covered, repeat magic dart experiment. This time take the number you get and divide by negative 2. This is your exact loss expectation.

If you need a formula instead:

Z=((f/2)+(s/-2)+(t-s))/3.14

Simply solve for Z where f = your first dart, s = your second dart, t = your third dart.
Funny thing about this equation is that it also gives me the exact amount of time that should have been spent replying to this thread in the first place.
